Accounting Rigor. Real Market Experience.

Advisory built on 15+ years inside the markets โ€” SEC reporting, derivatives, digital assets, and transaction readiness.

Capital Markets Advisory

Where accounting rigor meets real market experience. Advisory services built on actual capital markets participation โ€” not just textbook knowledge.

A CPA Who Speaks Your Language

Most CPAs advise on capital markets transactions from a purely academic perspective. Kurt Simmons brings a rare combination of Big Four audit experience, capital markets background, and active participation in derivatives, futures, and digital asset markets.

This means when you're navigating complex financial instruments โ€” options strategies, futures contracts, crypto DeFi protocols, or Section 1256 elections โ€” you're working with an advisor who understands the mechanics from the inside.
